Core Tip

Core tip: In the recent years the treatment strategies for gastric ulcer diseases have significantly changed, mirroring the revolution in the understanding of its pathogenesis. Improved oxygenation in critically ischemic gastric mucosa has emerged as a method of choice to accelerate epithelization of erosive and ulcerative defects. Bovine hemoglobin (B-Hb) has been used in a wide range of applications including restoration of tissue oxygenation in ischemic condition. Our data show that B-Hb has significant anti-gastric acid secretory and gastroprotective activity. Further studies are warranted to determine the role of B-Hb in prophylaxis/treatment of gastric ulcer disease.
